Save 4,500 Yen by sourcing the 2026 Summer Fridays Spring Edition from the US instead of Japanese resellers

The Spring 2026 Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Hype

The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm has reached a new peak in March 2026. The Spring 2026 Limited Edition shades, specifically "Petal Pop" and "Sun-Drenched Honey," are currently viral on Xiaohongshu and Instagram. Users in Japan are seeing these aesthetic swatches everywhere, but the localized retail market is lagging. While the formula remains the same high-shine, vegan favorite, these specific 2026 pigments are currently restricted to the US market.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

By using a tax-free US address via comGateway, Japanese shoppers can access these limited drops the moment they hit the shelves at Sephora US. Waiting for local boutiques often leads to sold-out stock or significantly higher price tags.

Why you cannot find these shades in Japan

It is a common myth that every global beauty release reaches Tokyo at the same time as New York. For the Spring 2026 collection, Summer Fridays has prioritized its US domestic site and Sephora North America. This leaves fans in Japan facing two choices: wait months for a potential release or pay a massive premium to independent resellers.

Sourcing directly from the US is the only way to guarantee authenticity. When you shop US store sites, you are getting products straight from the source. However, many shoppers assume their Japanese credit card will work effortlessly on US websites, which brings us to a major hurdle.

Solving the Sephora US order cancellation issue

Many US retailers, including Sephora, Nike, and Apple, have strict security protocols that often lead to order cancellations for international shoppers. These stores frequently block international credit cards or flag orders that are being sent to a freight forwarder. This is the biggest obstacle for beauty enthusiasts in Japan trying to secure the 2026 Limited Edition balm.

The BuyForMe service offered by comGateway is the solution to this problem. Instead of risking a cancelled transaction, you tell comGateway what you want, and they purchase the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by the retailer's automated fraud filters. By using BuyForMe, you bypass the headache of regional payment restrictions entirely.

Shipping costs from the US to Japan

The cost of logistics is often cited as a reason to avoid overseas shopping, but the numbers tell a different story in 2026. Save 4,500 Yen on the total landed cost of a full Summer Fridays set compared to the prices currently listed on Japanese secondary markets. To get an accurate picture of your spend, use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the weight of your beauty haul.

When you use a parcel forwarding service, you can also consolidate multiple orders. If you are buying the lip balm from Sephora and perhaps some spring apparel from another US brand, forward packages together to reduce the per-item shipping fee. You can review the latest international shipping rates to see how consolidation significantly drops the price of international shipping.

Japan import duties for cosmetics

Another myth is that customs fees will double the price of your order. In reality, Japan has specific thresholds for personal imports. For most cosmetic orders under 16,666 Yen, you may be exempt from certain taxes. However, it is vital to stay updated on import duties and customs tax regulations to avoid surprises.

Check our guide on import tax to understand how the 2026 regulations apply to beauty products. Generally, as long as you are purchasing for personal use and stay within quantity limits (usually 24 pieces per item type for cosmetics), the process for Japan delivery is straightforward.

Step-by-step guide to ordering

If you are ready to secure the Summer Fridays Spring 2026 Limited Edition, follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth experience:

• Step 1: Register for a free account to get your own US shipping address.
• Step 2: If you have a US-compatible card, shop at Sephora and use your new address at checkout.
• Step 3: If your card is declined, use the BuyForMe service. Provide the product URL and details, and comGateway will handle the purchase.
• Step 4: Once the package arrives at the warehouse, log in to check your shipping fees.
• Step 5: Select your preferred shipping method for buy from US ship to Japan and wait for your viral lip balms to arrive in Tokyo.
